Indigenous people have always been writing and telling science-fiction stories, but it hasn’t been labeled as such. We’ve always been interested in prophecy, alternate realities, and different spheres of existence. Blaire Topash-Caldwell.

"When we talk about this imperative to address the climate crisis, there's a direct link to the imperative to address the human crisis...the human spiritual crisis, the human mental crisis." Eriel Tchekwie Deranger Indigenous Climate Action

"Hunters have blockaded the airstrip and tote road to a Nunavut mine to express their concern that Inuit voices are not being heard in environmental hearings about a planned expansion to the Mary River mine. Hunters groups are concerned that caribou would not be able to cross a railway that is part of the proposed expansion and increased shipping will drive away marine wildlife." https://www.cbc.ca//baffinland-blockade-hunters-group-1.59

We are proud to present another one of our grantees - "Treaty Truck House" The people of Sipekne’katik, Millbrook, local fishers, and the general public are calling to stop Alton Gas from creating salt caverns near Brentwood, Nova Scotia and dumping the brine waste in the Shubenacadie River. Alton Gas is a 50 year fossil fuel project, to create 18 huge underground salt caverns to store high pressurized natural gas. Folks at Treaty Truck House call it the belly of the snake. ...It is to be connected to the Maritime and Northeast pipeline and export LNG terminal in Goldboro, N.S., the head of the snake. The campaign aims to halt environmental destruction and take a stand against the incomplete environmental studies and lack of meaningful public consultation for the project and to raise awareness of the danger to local residents and its violations of Indigenous rights and sovereignty. Treaty Truck House doesn't want fracking in Mi'kmaki. Sipekne'katik has not been consulted and they do not consent. This is environmental racism and infringement of Mi'kmaq Treaty Rights. We must #StopAltonGas. >Follow on FB Treaty Truck House >Learn More https://treatytruckhouseagainstaltongas.wordpress.com/ >Support the Fundraiser https://tinyurl.com/y475ww26 >Amplify on Twitter https://twitter.com/StopAltonGas

Share the wealth: support Indigenous resistance! Giving Tuesday is a global movement for giving and wealth sharing, taking place each year on the first Tuesday of December. This time of year is an opportunity for ICA to raise funds to support resourcing more Indigenous groups to uphold our rights as Indigenous Peoples and take action for climate justice. ... This year we are hoping to raise $10,000 to support our Sovereignty in Action fund and level up support for the Indigenous resistance that is critical for defending the lands and waters we all rely on while also building out pathways for food, energy and community sovereignty.

#LandBack is more than a slogan for a resurgent Indigenous movement.
